It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 352

This is the fifth day that Jiang Yan has joined Chunying's group.

Before joining, she was told that she only needed to summarize external information and then pick out useful content and hand it over to Chunying.

There was no need to use an abacus or read comprehension. Jiang Yan thought the job was easy and the monthly pay was good, so she did it.

Unexpectedly, when she came here with her luggage, she found that it was currently in the start-up stage.

Chunying was ordered to open a liaison office in Rongcheng County with limited funds, which was not affiliated with an unknown company. Together with the newly recruited Jiang Yan, the team had a total of three people, one of whom was Tian Jiu, who was illiterate and was only responsible for security and message delivery.

"In other words, the job belongs to both of us?" Jiang Yan wanted to turn around and leave at that moment.

Chunying explained to her: "It's just you. I have to take care of other chores in the early stages. I can only work with you after those chores are done."

Jiang Yan: My heart is even more troubled...

"It's a pity that Rongcheng County is a remote county. It is not taken seriously, is not located in a strategic location, and has no complex forces. I may stay here for several months without any urgent matters to deal with. There is no opportunity to climb up or earn more rewards." Chunying said regretfully.

Huh? This sentence once again dispelled Jiang Yan's thoughts of returning home. She didn't mind Chunying's salary being too low, and she had no plans to move up the ladder.

The money was small and the job was close to home, so Jiang Yan put his bag down and tidied his bed, missing Chunying's secretly upturned mouth corners.

After working together for so long, both of them had figured out about 70% of each other's personality. Furthermore, after their separation, Chunying's living environment was no longer as carefree as Jiang Yan's in Dongshan Village, and her ability to tell lies to people had improved.

Chunying thought that most of what she said was true, and she just skipped over some possible changes in the future. She was definitely going to keep Jiang Yan.

This was not only because they had shared hardships and had relatively more trust in each other, but also because Rongcheng County really couldn't find any available people at once, and the available people had already been taken away by the Fu Mansion.

But Jiang Yan was deceived because she wasn't fully prepared. She subconsciously overlooked a crucial point: the Fu family's headquarters was in Rongcheng County, even though it was once a relatively insignificant county. With the external strife, it would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Unless they moved away, it was only a matter of time.

Jiang Yan had been enjoying a leisurely couple of days. Besides helping to clean the house and wipe down the tables and chairs, she'd spent the rest of her time lying in the yard basking in the sun. The sun wasn't scorching yet, so she decided to bask in it a little longer.

On the third day, she helped Chunying calculate the expenses she would have to pay after arriving in Rongcheng County. It wouldn't take long. Jiang Yan guessed that people like them who did this kind of thing must have a hidden account that only their bosses could know about.

Tian Jiu also brought some papers for her to look at. Jiang Yan read them and found a summary of officials and their families from various prefectures and counties. Although there were no portraits, she quickly memorized them.

Jiang Yan still remembered the officials of several prefectures and counties. He had heard of them when he accompanied Fu Nulang to the palace set up in Donghufu, but the officials of many more prefectures and counties had been replaced.

On the fourth day, Jiang Yan received more notes, mostly about recent observations on Rongcheng County and several surrounding counties. Jiang Yan couldn't see anything fishy going on, but she had a question: "We still need to check other counties, right?"

On the fifth day, the content delivered to Jiang Yan was no longer ready-made. Instead, it required them to conduct an on-site investigation, which was the matter of the concubine Zhao Ni.

"Let's look for it first." Jiang Yan's suggestion was rejected by Chunying. She has her own demands. Even if she becomes a small leader, she has to show her attitude even if she is perfunctory.

Jiang Yan sighed and complained to Chunying: "This is a blatant deception~"
